Just took my 2020 Cooper S JCW in for 10k mile service and I was told I need me tires on the front. I do drive aggressively, but not that aggressively. I don't spin the tires on takeoff, they are not squealing in the curve. How can I need new ones after only 10k?

 

A bad alignment can wreck tires pretty quickly... Also, what is the treadwear rating of the tire?

 

Watch tire pressures and rotate every 5000 miles. And of course driving habits can make a big difference.

 

what do they look like? Determining tire wear or damage is not rocket science. Are the wear bars showing? Do they pass the penny test?

is there irregular wear?

These are the stock run flats and they have a 500 wear rating.

 

Have you personally looked at the tires? The dealer could be blowing smoke to see if you'll bite... Turn the steering wheel all the way to one side, and look at the tread. Try to get a picture and post it up, too.

I only got 18k miles on my RFs for my 2014 Coupe. The next set got way more.

 

A dealer once told me I was in dire need of new brake pads

which was curious given I'd changed the pads for new about a month before . . .

 

I finally got around to checking the treads myself. The wear is even, so no alignment issues. I have about 5mm when measured from the center of the valley between the treads. The tires are Pirelli Cinturato P7. I have always heard that Pirelli's are good tires and I just figured with a wear rating of 500, they would last 40-50k miles. I plan on putting Michelin pilot sport all season tires on next. I know sport tires are not long life tires, but does anyone have info on how many miles they get out of a set of pilot sports, if not tracked and only driven on the road.

 

25K approximately.
